The USTR's annual review of trading partners' protection of IP rights, the so-called Special 301 Report, placed 11 countries, including China and India, on the 'priority watch list' for piracy and counterfeiting concerns, 25 countries were on its watch list.
In the report, the U.S. said these countries will be the subject of increased bilateral engagement with the USTR to address IP concerns.
